This book was on my wish list for months - and with a gift certificate from my son I finally rewarded myself with this gorgeous nursing history. It was expensive but worth the money. The part I couldn't know by the preview online is that the color plates showing nursing through the years are just as wonderful as I hoped.
I have all three editions - going back many years. If you know a Registered Nurse, especially one who is working in Nursing or possibly retired- this is a great gift... it means a lot and touches the experiences of Nursing -many of which are hard to explain or communicate to those not involved in patient care.
I had to buy this book for a college course. I have been buying my books through for a while now because it is a lot cheaper than getting them at the college bookstore. At first I just thought this was going to be another one of those books that I was going to dread reading... but I have found it really interesting! The material is interesting, the pictures are gorgeous, and I will actually be keeping this textbook for my coffee table rather than trying to sell it back or trade it with another student. This would be a perfect gift for anyone who is a nurse or studying to be a nurse, or anyone who is interested in history, or art.
i bought this book approximately 1 year ago. i retired from nursing last year after 40 years .i truly miss it. i bought this book this year for a young lady at church who just graduated from nursing school. i feel that she will be an asset to our profession and think that perhaps on down the road,she'll enjoy it as much as i have.i agree with florence nightingale that nursing is "the finest art"
2 nurses received this book at our nurses week celebration and loved it. It's a wonderful gift for someone who has kept their cap pristine for 30 years and for someone who uses Florence Nightengale as part of their e-mail address....those who truely love nursing! The pictures and stories show the history of nursing across the generations.
This is a great book for new or seasoned Registered Nurses. I give this to new grads from nursing schools. Great book on the history and art history of nursing.
I bought this as a gift for Nurses Day for my outpatient nurse. I had a chance to flip through before giving it to her. It is a beautiful book. She absolutely loves it. She keeps it at her desk and flips through it with the other nurses between pages.
This is a beautiful book with lots of wonderful pictures (glossy pages) not just interesting for nurses but for anyone interested in that history. Short/blocks of writing making it easy to read.
